BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Fortuna is a growth focused Canadian precious metals mining company with operations and projects in Argentina, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mexico, Peru, and Senegal. The Company produces gold, silver, and base metals and generates shared value over the long-term through efficient production, environmental protection, and social responsibility.

The Company operates the open pit Lindero gold mine (“Lindero” or the “Lindero Mine”) located in northern Argentina, the underground Yaramoko gold mine (“Yaramoko” or the “Yaramoko Mine”) located in southwestern Burkina Faso, the underground San Jose silver and gold mine (“San Jose” or the “San Jose Mine”) located in southern Mexico, the underground Caylloma silver, lead, and zinc mine (“Caylloma” or the “Caylloma Mine”) located in southern Peru, and the open pit Séguéla gold mine (“Séguéla”, or the “Séguéla Mine”) located in southwestern Côte d’Ivoire. Each of the Company's producing mines is generally considered to be a separate reportable segment, along with the Company's corporate stewardship segment.

Fortuna is a publicly traded company incorporated and domiciled in British Columbia, Canada. Its common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the trading symbol FSM and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the trading symbol FVI. Effective June 20, 2024, the Company’s name was changed to Fortuna Mining Corp. in order to reflect that the Company’s business has moved from being predominantly focused on the production of silver to the production of gold and silver.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility

Effective October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a fifth amended and restated credit agreement which reduces its secured revolving credit facility, with a syndicate of banks led by The Bank of Nova Scotia, and including Bank of Montreal, ING Capital LLC and National Bank of Canada. The amendment and restatement reduced the amount of the facility to $150 million from $250 million (the facility would have stepped down to $175 million in November 2024), and increased the uncommitted accordion option from $50 million to $75 million. The facility has a term of four years. Lower interest rates across certain levels of the margin grid and lower commitment fees were negotiated under the amended facility. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional details.

Third Quarter 2024 vs Third Quarter 2023

Consolidated sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $274.9 million, a 13% increase from the $243.1 million reported in the same period in 2023. Sales by reportable segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

●

Lindero recognized adjusted sales of $66.3 million from the sale of 26,655 ounces of gold, a 55% increase from the same period in 2023. Sales increased at Lindero primarily due to higher realized metal prices of $2,503 per gold ounce compared to $1,910 in the comparable period as well as higher ounces sold due to higher production and the sale of 2,883 ounces that were held in inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2024. See "Results of Operations – Lindero Mine, Argentina" for additional information.

●

Yaramoko recognized adjusted sales of $69.3 million from the sale of 27,995 ounces of gold which was 6% higher than the same period in 2023. Higher gold sales at Yaramoko were primarily driven by higher realized metal prices of $2,474 per gold ounce compared to $1,932 in the comparable period and partially offset by lower production. Lower production for the quarter was due to continuing development operations providing lower grade feed for the mill. See "Results of Operations – Yaramoko Mine, Burkina Faso" for additional information.

●

Séguéla recognized adjusted sales of $84.3 million from the sale of 33,816 ounces of gold, a 23% increase compared to the same period in 2023. Higher sales were primarily the result of higher metal prices of $2,494 per ounce compared to $1,927 in the previous period. See "Results of Operations – Séguéla Mine, Côte d’Ivoire" for additional information.

●

San Jose recognized adjusted sales of $23.9 million, a 45% decrease from the $43.5 million reported in the same period in 2023. Lower sales for the period were the result of lower production due to lower tonnes and grades as the mine is operating at the tail end of its known reserves. This was partially offset by higher realized metal prices. See "Results of Operations – San Jose Mine, Mexico" for additional information.

●

Caylloma recognized adjusted sales of $31.1 million compared to $22.7 million reported in the same period in 2023. Higher sales were the result of higher silver ounces sold and realized silver prices. See "Results of Operations – Caylloma Mine, Peru" for additional information.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

First Nine months of 2024 vs First Nine months of 2023

Consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $759.8 million, a 32% increase from the $577.1 million reported in the same period in 2023. Sales by reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

●

Lindero recognized adjusted sales of $161.5 million from the sale of 69,886 ounces of gold, an 11% increase from the same period in 2023. The increase in sales was due to higher realized metal prices of $2,316 per gold ounce compared to $1,923 and partially offset by lower ounces sold in the comparable period. See "Results of Operations – Lindero Mine, Argentina" for additional information.

●

Yaramoko recognized adjusted sales of $199.6 million from the sale of 86,621 ounces of gold, which was 15% higher than the same period in 2023. Higher gold sales at Yaramoko were primarily driven by higher realized metal prices of $2,304 per gold ounce compared to $1,932 in the comparable period. See "Results of Operations – Yaramoko Mine, Burkina Faso" for additional information.

●

Séguéla recognized adjusted sales of $233.7 million from the sale of 101,369 ounces of gold compared to $68.4 million in the comparable period. The increase in sales is a result of nine months of production in 2024 compared to three months in the comparable period as the mine was under construction during the first half of 2023. See "Results of Operations – Séguéla Mine, Côte d’Ivoire" for additional information.

●

San Jose recognized adjusted sales of $78.2 million, a 32% decrease from the $115.6 million reported in the same period in 2023. The decrease in sales was primarily driven by lower production from lower tonnes milled and lower grades as the mine exhausts Mineral Reserves in line with the mine plan. This was partially offset by higher metal prices. See "Results of Operations – San Jose Mine, Mexico" for additional information.

●

Caylloma recognized adjusted sales of $86.8 million compared to $74.1 million reported in the same period in 2023. The increase in sales was primarily the result of higher silver prices and higher silver production offsetting lower zinc production. See "Results of Operations – Caylloma Mine, Peru" for additional information.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

Third Quarter 2024 vs Third Quarter 2023

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $72.7 million, an increase of $27.3 million over the same period in 2023 which was primarily due to:

●

Higher operating income at the Lindero Mine due to higher sales and the expiration of the export duty of 8% on gold sales at the end of 2023.

●

Yaramoko saw an increase in operating income of $14.8 million primarily driven by higher sales as described above and lower depletion per ounce from the 55 Zone which was partially offset by higher royalties due to higher gold prices and a change in the royalty regime in Burkina Faso in the fourth quarter of 2023.

●

Séguéla recognized operating income of $26.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $30.9 million for the same period in 2023. Lower operating income was due to the third quarter of 2023 including a one time benefit from the sale of pre-commercial production inventory which significantly lowered the depletion cost per ounce. Operating income for the third quarter of 2024 at Séguéla included $16.8 million in depletion related to the purchase price of Roxgold Inc. in 2021.

●

San Jose recognized an operating loss of $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to an operating income of $3.9 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in operating income was the result of lower sales and production as the mine approaches closure.

●

Operating income at the Caylloma Mine for the third quarter of 2024 increased to $9.8 million compared to $5.3 million in the comparable period as a result of higher sales as described above.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA (refer to Non-IFRS Financial Measures) was $131.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $26.7 million over the same period in 2023. Higher adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of higher sales due to higher realized metal prices for gold and silver offsetting the negative contribution from San Jose.

The most comparable IFRS measure to the Non-IFRS measure adjusted EBITDA is net income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $54.4 million. Refer to the section entitled “Non-IFRS Measures” for more detailed information.

First Nine months of 2024 vs First Nine months of 2023

Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $175.2 million, an increase of $98.2 million over the same period in 2023 which was primarily due to:

●

Higher operating income at the Lindero Mine due to higher sales and the expiration of the export duty of 8% on gold sales at the end of 2023.

●

Yaramoko saw an increase in operating income to $65.4 million compared to $34.0 million in the previous period primarily driven by higher metal prices and a lower cost of depletion per ounce from the 55 Zone partially offset by higher energy costs from diesel power generation due to grid power constraints in the second quarter and a $2.8 million write-down of marginal stockpiles.

●

Séguéla recognized operating income of $71.7 million in the first nine months compared to $30.6 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was a result of nine months of operations in 2024 compared to three months in the comparable period as the mine was under construction during the first half of 2023. Operating income at Séguéla included $47.8 million in depletion related to the purchase price of Roxgold Inc. in 2021.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

●

For the first nine months of 2024 San Jose recognized an operating loss of $0.6 million compared to operating income of $4.8 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease in operating income was the result of lower sales and production as the mine approaches closure.

●

Operating income at the Caylloma Mine for the first nine months of 2024 was $29.5 million, an increase from $19.3 million in the same period of 2023 as a result of higher realized metal prices and higher silver ounces sold.

After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA (refer to Non-IFRS Financial Measures) was $339.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $125.2 million over the same period in 2023. Higher adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of the Séguéla Mine contributing nine months of adjusted EBITDA compared to three months in the comparable period offsetting lower adjusted EBITDA at San Jose.

The most comparable IFRS measure to the Non-IFRS measure adjusted EBITDA is net income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $126.8 million. Refer to the section entitled “Non-IFRS Measures” for more detailed information.

All-in Sustaining Cash Cost (“AISC”)

Third Quarter 2024 vs Third Quarter 2023

Consolidated AISC per gold equivalent ounce (“GEO”) sold for the second quarter of 2024 was $1,696 compared to $1,313 for the comparable quarter of 2023. Higher AISC for the period was the result of higher sustaining capital due to the construction of the Lindero leach pad expansion which contributed $150 per ounce as well as higher capitalized stripping at the Séguéla Mine as material was extracted from lower depths in the Antenna, Ancien and Koula pits. Lower GEOs sold was also a factor due to lower production at Yaramoko and San Jose and the impact of higher gold prices on the calculation of GEOs for silver and base metals. Adjusting for San Jose, which is mining its last year of Mineral Reserves, AISC per GEO was $1,594 for the current quarter.

First Nine months of 2024 vs First Nine months of 2023

Consolidated AISC per GEO sold for the first nine months of 2024 was $1,618 compared to $1,508 for the comparable period of 2023. The higher AISC was the result of higher sustaining capital from the Lindero leach pad expansion which accounted for $109 per ounce, higher stripping costs at Séguéla, higher cash costs and higher royalties due to higher metal prices. This was partially offset by higher GEOs sold primarily due to the contribution of nine months of production from Séguéla compared to three months in the comparable period. Adjusting for San Jose, which is mining its last year of Mineral Reserves, AISC per GEO was $1,533 for the first nine months of 2024.

G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased 10% to $16.0 million compared to $14.6 million reported in the same period in 2023. The increase was the result of higher share-based payments.

G&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 28% to $56.7 million compared to $44.2 million reported in the same period in 2023. The increase was the result of nine months of G&A at Séguéla compared to three months in the comparable period and higher shared-based payments due to the increase in value of the share price over the year and the impact on the valuation of restricted share units expected to settle in cash.

Foreign Exchange Loss

Foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $3.4 million compared to a foreign exchange loss of $4.9 million reported in the same period in 2023. The gain on foreign exchange was the result of an appreciation of the Euro relative to the US dollar and the impact on cash and VAT receivable balances in West Africa denominated in the West Africa Franc. The devaluation of the Argentine Peso was also at a slower pace in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year.

Foreign exchange loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $6.4 million to $2.1 million compared to $8.5 million reported in the same period in 2023. The decrease in the foreign exchange loss was a result of a slower pace of devaluation of the Argentine Peso relative to the US dollar over 2024 and smaller losses on VAT receivables and cash balances denominated in the West African Franc. The previous year was also impacted by the appreciation of the Mexican Peso.

Income Tax Expense

The Company is subject to tax in various jurisdictions, including Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Australia, and Canada. There are a number of factors that can significantly impact the Company’s effective tax rate (“ETR”) including the geographic distribution of income, variations in our income before income taxes, varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of tax assets, local inflation rates, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, changes in tax laws, and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result of the number of factors that can potentially impact the ETR and the sensitivity of the tax provision to these factors, the ETR will fluctuate, sometimes significantly. This trend is expected to continue in future periods.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $15.1 million compared to $6.6 million reported in the same period in 2023. The $8.5 million increase in the income tax expense was a result of higher income before taxes primarily driven by Séguéla. In the comparable period Séguéla made use of non-capital losses that had not previously been recognized to reduce current income tax.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $37.3 million compared to $15.6 million reported in the same period in 2023. The $21.7 million increase in the income tax expense was a result of the accrual of income taxes at Séguéla and partially offset by the recognition of a $12.0 million deferred tax asset related to the issuance of the 2024 Notes (refer to the “Capital Resources” section) that had previously been unrecognized.

The ETR for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was 22% compared to 19% for the same period in 2023. The increase of 3% is primarily a result of the accrual of income taxes at Séguéla.

The ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 23% compared to 25% for the same period in 2023. The decrease of 2% is primarily a result of the accrual of income tax at Séguéla being offset by the impact of the issuance of the 2024 Notes described above.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights

During the third quarter of 2024, 2.1 million tonnes of ore were mined, with a stripping ratio of 1:1. A total of 1,654,101 tonnes of ore was placed on the heap leach pad at an average gold grade of 0.66 g/t, containing an estimated 34,925 ounces of gold. The 13% increase in tonnes placed on the leach pad when compared to the third quarter of 2023 is mainly due to mine sequencing.

Fortuna Mining Corp.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

Lindero’s total gold production for the quarter was 24,345 ounces of gold, comprised of 22,569 ounces in doré bars, 1,754 ounces contained in rich fine carbon, and 21 ounces contained in copper precipitate. The 16% increase from the third quarter of 2023, is due to an increase in tonnes placed on the leach pad and higher gold grade in the third quarter of 2024.

The cash cost per ounce of gold for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $1,042 compared to $987 in the same period of 2023. The increase in cash cost per ounce of gold was related to increased mine costs as a result of additional heavy equipment rentals and labour costs.

The all-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold during Q3 2024 was $1,962, an increase from $1,609 in the third quarter of 2023. The increase for the quarter was primarily due to higher cash costs as described above and higher sustaining capital expenditures to support the expansion of the heap leach pad which accounted for $580 per ounce in the quarter.

As of September 30, 2024, the $51.8 million leach pad expansion project ($41.7 million capital investment in 2024) was approximately 76% complete and tracking on budget. Procurement is complete, with items onsite. Liner installation is approximately 44% complete. In October of 2024, the Company started placing ore on the leach pad expansion and practical completion is expected by year-end. Minor construction activities and contractor demobilization are planned for early 2025.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights

In the third quarter of 2024, 123,754 tonnes of ore were treated at an average head grade of 6.71 g/t Au, producing 28,006 ounces of gold. This represents a 13% decrease in grade and an 18% decrease in production, when compared to the same period in 2023. The gold grade was lower than predicted in the mine plan due to continuing development operations providing lower grade ore and the milling of supplementary low-grade stockpiles.

During the quarter, 80,740 tonnes of ore were mined averaging 7.41 g/t Au from the 55 Zone, and 21,905 tonnes of ore averaging 9.02 g/t Au from QV Prime, totaling 102,645 tonnes averaging 7.75 g/t Au.

The cash cost per ounce of gold sold for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $974, compared to $753 in the same period in 2023. The increase for the quarter is mainly attributed to higher mining and indirect costs and lower volume of ounces sold due to lower grades.

The all-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,373 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,213 in the same period of 2023. The increase in the quarter was primarily due to higher cash costs described above, and a change in the royalty regime in Burkina Faso which increased the royalty rate from 5% to 7% when the gold price is over $2,000 per ounce. This was partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditure in 2024.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights

During the third quarter of 2024, mine production totaled 484,050 tonnes of ore, averaging 2.48 g/t Au, and containing an estimated 38,661 ounces of gold from the Antenna, Ancien and Koula pits. Movement of waste during the quarter totaled 2,935,335 tonnes, for a strip ratio of 6:1. Production was mainly focused from the Antenna pit which produced 412,063 tonnes of ore, with the balance of production sourced from the Koula and Ancien pits.

In the third quarter of 2024, Séguéla processed 418,390 tonnes, producing 34,998 ounces of gold, at an average head grade of 2.69 g/t Au, an 11% increase and 30% decrease, respectively, compared to the third quarter in 2023. The decrease in gold grade is in line with the planned mining sequence. Plant throughput for the quarter averaged 208 tonnes per hour (tph), 35% higher than name plate design capacity of 154 tph. The power outages that were experienced in the second quarter did not affect processing plant operations in the third quarter and enabled an increase in the tonnes processed. However, a failure of the drive shaft of the main apron feeder in early July required a repair which reduced throughput rates while the repairs were completed. Throughput rates were subsequently increased, averaging 216 tph in September.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

The cash cost per gold ounce sold was $655 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $397 in the same period of 2023. The increase is explained by the higher head grade and low-cost production associated with Séguéla’s first quarter of operations in the comparative period. The lower cost of production was mostly related to low-strip mining, shorter haulage, and lower maintenance costs.

The all-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,176 for the quarter ending September 30, 2024, an increase from $788 for the same period in 2023. This increase is due to increased cash costs and increased sustaining capital expenditures in 2024 for stripping activities.

Looking forward into 2025, the Séguéla mine plans to operate at approximately 35 percent higher throughput rate compared to nameplate design, and at a stripping ratio closer to the Mineral Reserve average of 13:1 compared to 6:1 year to date. The higher throughput achieved through optimization initiatives in 2024 has not required any material capital expenditures. As a result of sustained higher production rates, the mine will correspondingly face an acceleration of infrastructure requirements in the approximate amount of $10 million above 2024 infrastructure capex figures. These capital projects are primarily related to the early expansion of the tailings storage facility, relocation of the Sunbird communications tower for development of the Sunbird pit, and land access to new mineral deposits and related compensation payments. Management anticipates that advancing these infrastructure projects will unlock annual target production rates of between 140k to 200k ounces in our life of mine plans.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights

In the third quarter of 2024, San Jose produced 510,741 ounces of silver and 3,771 ounces of gold, 63% and 54% decreases respectively, at average head grades for silver and gold of 99 g/t and 0.74 g/t, a 48% decrease and 35% decrease respectively, when compared to the same period in 2023. During the third quarter the mine plan included areas near old workings at the upper level of the mine which have a higher level of geological uncertainty. These areas accounted for 46% of quarterly production and returned 36% lower head grades and 28% lower tonnage than expected. The mine plan for the fourth quarter continues to encompass areas of high geologic uncertainty.

The processing plant milled 188,212 tonnes averaging 2,163 tonnes per day. Metallurgical recoveries were impacted by higher iron oxide material from upper levels mined during the period.

The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce for the three months ending September 30, 2024, was $29.40, an increase from $13.73 in the same period of 2023. The higher cost per ounce was primarily the result of lower production and silver equivalent ounces sold as described above and the impact of fixed costs being spread across fewer ounces sold.

The all-in sustaining cash cost per payable silver equivalent ounce for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by 81% to $32.65 from $18.04 for the same period in 2023. These increases were mainly driven by higher cash costs and lower production, which was partially offset by lower capital expenditures.

Following Management’s evaluation of the options available for San Jose, the Company is planning to initiate the progressive closure of the San Jose mine starting in the first quarter of 2025. A comprehensive multi-year closure and monitoring plan and budget are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The plan considers concurrent closure activities with reduced mining operations, which may continue for up to eighteen months at rates of under 1,000 tonnes per day in selected portions of the remaining Mineral Resources in the underground mine. Management expects production income can offset a significant portion of closure costs in the initial years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights

The Caylloma Mine produced 305,446 ounces of silver at an average head grade of 82 g/t Ag in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting similar production as the previous quarter.

Zinc and lead production was 12.8 million pounds and 10.0 million pounds, respectively, with average head grades of 4.64% Zn and 3.62% Pb, representing an 8% decrease and 1% decrease, respectively, when compared to the third quarter of 2023. Zinc production decreased by 9% and lead production decreased by 3% when compared to the same period in 2023. The lower production is the result of lower head grades delivered to the plant, in accordance with the planned mining sequence for the period.

The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $14.88, a 2% decrease compared to the comparable period in 2023. Cash costs for the mine were lower for the period due to lower ground support costs as mining took place in more competent rock and lower plant costs but was offset by lower silver equivalent ounces sold due to high silver prices and the impact on the calculation of silver equivalent for lead and zinc.

The all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of payable silver equivalent for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $22.69 compared to $21.14 for the same period in 2023. The increase is due to higher sustaining capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and the impact of higher silver prices on the calculation of silver equivalent ounces for base metals. If silver equivalent ounces were calculated using guidance prices, the all-in sustaining cost per ounce would have been approximately $19.38

Figures may not add due to rounding

Sales increased 6% in the third quarter of 2024 to $274.9 million compared to $260.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 due to higher precious metal prices offsetting lower gold equivalent production. Net income increased by $11.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2024 also as a result of higher metal prices.

Sales increased 16% in the second quarter of 2024 to $260.0 million compared to $224.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to higher gold equivalent production of 116,570 ounces compared to 112,543 in the previous quarter and higher metal prices. Net income increased by $14.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to higher sales and the recognition of a deferred tax recovery of $12.0 million to offset the deferred tax liability from the issuance of the 2024 Notes.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

Sales decreased 15% in the first quarter of 2024 to $224.9 million compared to $265.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to lower production and partially offset by higher metal prices. Net income increased by $118.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 due to an impairment charge recognized at the San Jose Mine and a number of onetime charges in the previous quarter.

Sales increased 9% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $265.3 million compared to $243.1 million in the third quarter of 2023 due to higher production. Net income decreased by $120.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 as a result of an impairment charge at San Jose and a number of onetime charges.

Sales increased 53% in the third quarter of 2023 to $243.1 million compared to $158.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. Sales in the quarter were impacted by the addition of Séguéla as an operating mine. Net income increased by $27.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2023 as a result of contributions from Séguéla which was in ramp-up during the previous quarter and the return to full operations at San Jose following an illegal blockade.

Sales decreased 10% in the second quarter of 2023 to $158.4 million compared to $175.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Sales in the quarter were impacted by the illegal blockade at San Jose. Net income decreased by $8.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2023 as a result of lower sales and $7.3 million of other operating expenses related to care and maintenance, stand-by charges, and one-time payments associated with the work stoppages at Yaramoko and San Jose.

Sales increased 7% in the first quarter of 2023 to $175.7 million compared to $164.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 as higher gold sales and realized prices offset lower silver production. Net income increased by $172.3 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 as a result of an impairment charge of $182.8 million ($164.5 million net of tax) in the previous quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $180.6 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $128.1 million at the end of 2023. The increased in cash and cash equivalents was a result of free cash flow generated from operations, the issuance of the 2024 Notes for $172.5 million and the election of the majority of the 2019 convertible debenture holders to redeem the debentures for common shares of the Company reducing the cash outlay to settle the debentures offset by the repayment of amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility bringing the outstanding balance to $nil (excluding letters of credit) and capital expenditures at the mines. Significant cash flow movements for the quarter are described below.

Operating Activities

Cash flow generated from operating activities for the three months ending September 30, 2024 decreased to $92.9 million compared to $106.5 million in Q3 2023. Prior to working capital adjustments, the Company generated $119.3 million in operating cash flow compared to $106.2 million in the prior period primarily due to higher sales from higher metal prices. Operating cash flow for the quarter was impacted by negative working capital movements of $26.4 million which were primarily the result of an increase in VAT receivables at Lindero, Séguéla and Yaramoko. For Lindero and Séguéla, the collection of VAT receivables is expected to improve in the fourth quarter.

Higher income taxes paid for the quarter were the result of $6.0 million paid by Séguéla for the third and final installment on taxes accrued for 2023 taxable income and timing of payments in other jurisdictions.

Capital Resources

Effective October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a fifth amended and restated credit agreement which reduces its secured revolving credit facility, with a syndicate of banks led by The Bank of Nova Scotia, and including Bank of Montreal, ING Capital LLC and National Bank of Canada. The amendment and restatement reduced the amount of the facility to $150 million from $250 million (the facility would have stepped down to $175 million in November 2024), and increased the uncommitted accordion option from $50 million to $75 million. The facility has a term of four years. Lower interest rates across certain levels of the margin grid and lower commitment fees were negotiated under the amended facility. Interest accrues on USBR Loans at the applicable US base rate plus an applicable margin of between 1.25% and 2.25% across all levels of the margin grid, and on Benchmark Loans at the adjusted term SOFR rate for the applicable term plus the applicable margin of between 2.25% and 3.25% across all levels of the margin grid.

On June 10, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $172.5 million of unsecured convertible senior notes (the “2024 Notes”) on a private placement basis before transaction costs of $6.4 million. The 2024 Notes bear interest at 3.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year beginning on December 31, 2024, and will mature on June 30, 2029. The 2024 Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

Subject to earlier redemption or purchase, holders may convert their 2024 Notes at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 30, 2029. Upon conversion, holders of the 2024 Notes will receive common shares in the capital of the Company based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment, of 151.7220 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $6.591 per common share). A holder that surrenders 2024 Notes for conversion in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” or a notice of redemption may in certain circumstances be entitled to an increased conversion rate.

The Company may not redeem the 2024 Notes before July 5, 2027, except in the event of certain changes in Canadian tax law. At any time on or after July 5, 2027, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2024 Notes for cash, but only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common shares for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date the Company provides notice of redemption exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on each such trading day. The redemption price will be equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may also redeem the 2024 Notes upon the occurrence of certain changes to the laws governing Canadian withholding taxes. In addition, the Company will be required to offer to purchase for cash all of the outstanding 2024 Notes upon a “fundamental change” at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not utilize complex financial instruments in hedging foreign exchange or interest exposure. Any hedging activity requires approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company will not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Provisionally priced trade receivables of $19.3 million are the Company’s only level 2 fair valued instruments and no level 3 instruments are held.

Provisionally priced trade receivables are valued using forward London Metal Exchange prices until final prices are settled at a future date. The forward sales, and forward foreign exchange contracts liabilities are valued based on the present value of the estimated contractual cash flows. Estimates of future cash flows are based on quoted swap rates, futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. These are discounted using a yield curve, and adjusted for credit risk of the Company or the counterparty.

See Note 3 (section m) and Note 28 of the 2023 Financial Statements for a discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments, including a description of liquidity risks associated with such instruments.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company has disclosed certain financial measures and ratios in this MD&A which are not defined under IFRS and are not disclosed in the Q3 2024 Financial Statements, including but not limited to: cash cost per ounce of gold; all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining cash costs per ounce of gold equivalent sold; all-in cash cost per ounce of gold sold; cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent; all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; all-in cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; free cash flow and free cashflow from ongoing operations; adjusted net income; adjusted attributable net income; adjusted EBITDA; net debt and working capital.

These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by Management to monitor and evaluate the Company's operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company’s performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company’s performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company has calculated these measures consistently for all periods presented except for all-in sustaining costs per silver equivalent ounce sold. Costs associated with right of use leases were removed in Q1 2024 to better align the calculation with all-in sustaining costs per gold equivalent ounces sold. Prior period comparatives have been updated to reflect the change.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

The following table outlines the non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, their definitions, the most directly comparable IFRS measures and why we use these measures.


Non-IFRS Financial Measure or Ratio	Definition	Most Directly Comparable IFRS Measure	Why we use this measure and why it is useful to investors
Silver Equivalent Ounces Sold	Silver equivalent ounces are calculated by converting other metal production to its silver equivalent using relative metal/silver metal prices at realized prices and adding the converted metal production expressed in silver ounces to the ounces of silver production.	Silver Ounces Sold	Management believes this provides a consistent way to measure costs and performance.
Gold Equivalent Ounces Sold	Gold equivalent ounces are calculated by converting other metal production to its gold equivalent using relative metal/gold metal prices at realized prices and adding the converted metal production expressed in gold ounces to the ounces of gold production.	Gold Ounces Sold
Cash Costs	Cash costs include all direct and indirect operating cash costs related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including mining and processing costs, third-party refining and treatment charges, on-site general and administrative expenses, applicable production taxes and royalties which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations , net of by-product credits, but are exclusive of the impact of non-cash items that are included as part of the cost of sales that is calculated in the consolidated Income Statement including depreciation and depletion, reclamation, capital, development and exploration costs.	Cost of Sales	Management believes that cash cost and AISC measures provide useful information regarding the Company's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flows from its mining operations, and uses such measures to monitor the performance of the Company's mining operations. In addition, the Company believes that each measure provides useful information to investors in comparing, on a mine-by-mine basis, our operations relative performance on a period-by-period basis, against our competitors operations.
Cash Cost Per Ounce	This ratio is calculated by dividing cash costs by gold or silver equivalent ounces sold in the period.
All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC)	The Company, in conjunction with an initiative undertaken within the gold mining industry, has adopted AISC and all-in sustaining cost measures based on guidance published by World Gold Council ("WGC"). The Company conforms its AISC and all-in cash cost definitions to that set out in the guidance and the Company has presented the cash cost figures on a sold ounce basis. We define All-in Sustaining Costs as total production cash costs incurred at the applicable mining operation but excludes mining royalty recognized as income tax within the scope of IAS-12, as well as non-sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, and brownfield exploration expenditures are added to the cash cost. AISC is estimated at realized metal prices.
AISC per Ounce Sold	This ratio is calculated by dividing AISC by gold or silver equivalent ounces sold in the period.
All-In Costs	All-In Costs is calculated consistently with AISC but is inclusive of non-sustaining capital.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure or Ratio	Definition	Most Directly Comparable IFRS Measure	Why we use this measure and why it is useful to investors
Free cash Flow From Ongoing Operations	Free cash flow from ongoing operations is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, including Lindero commissioning, less sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense and adding back income taxes paid, changes in long-term receivable sustaining capital expenditures, one time transaction costs, payments of lease liabilities and other non-recurring items.	Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	This non-IFRS measure is used by the Company and investors to measure the cash flow available to fund the Company’s growth through investments and capital expenditures.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Attributable Net Income	Adjusted net income and adjusted attributable net income excludes the after-tax impact of specific items that are significant, which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period, such as foreign exchange gains (losses) related to the construction of the Séguéla Mine, gains and losses and other one-time costs related to acquisitions, impairment charges (reversals), and certain non-recurring items. Although some of the items are recurring, such as; loss on disposal of assets and non-hedge derivative gains and losses, the Company believes that they are not reflective of the underlying operating performance of its current business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.	Net Income Attributable Net Income	Management believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information and information obtained from conventional IFRS measures to evaluate the Company’s performance.
Adjusted EBITDA	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the Company's underlying operations, such as foreign exchange gains (losses) related to the construction of the Séguéla Mine, gains and losses and other one-time costs related to acquisitions, impairment charges (reversals), unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and certain non-recurring items, included in “Other expenses” on the Consolidated Income Statement. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently.	Net Income	Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides valuable information as an indicator of the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also a common metric that provides additional information used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes based on an observed or inferred relationship between adjusted EBITDA and market value.
Working Capital	Working capital is non-IFRS measure which is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets.	Current Assets, Current Liabilities	Management believes that working capital is a useful indicator of the liquidity of the Company.
Net Debt	Net debt is a Non-IFRS measure which is calculated by adding together current and long term debt and then subtracting cash and cash equivalents.	Current Debt, Long Term Debt, Cash and Cash Equivalents	Management believes that net debt is a useful indicator of the liquidity of the Company.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In the exploration, development and mining of mineral deposits, we are subject to various significant risks. Several of these financial and operational risks could have a significant impact on our cash flows and profitability. The most significant risks and uncertainties we face include: operating hazards and risks incidental to mining activities; mineral resources, mineral reserves and metal recoveries are estimated; the ability to replace mineral reserves; assumptions that the Company must make in determining production schedules, economic returns and costs; uncertainties related to new mining operations such as the Séguéla Mine, the inherent risk associated with project development; the substantial capital required for exploration and the development of infrastructure; future environmental regulation; political and economic risk in the jurisdictions in which we operate; global geopolitical risk; repatriation of funds; government regulations and permit requirements, environmental legislation; abnormal or extreme natural events; climate change; labor relations; use of outside contractors; maintenance of mining concessions, challenges to the Company’s title to its properties; the termination of mining concessions in certain circumstances; risks related to artisanal or informal mining on the Company’s properties; compliance with ILO Convention 169; maintaining relationships with local communities; reputational risk; opposition to the Company’s exploration, development or operational activities; funding for exploration and development; production risk at our operating mine sites; our ability to service and repay our debt; restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions; change of control restrictions; debt service obligations; breach and default under indebtedness; credit ratings; our ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce; the ability to maintain appropriate and adequate insurance across all jurisdictions; our compliance with corruption and antibribery laws and sanctions; risks related to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business; foreign currency risk; fluctuations in metal prices; our ability to sell to a limited number of smelters and off-takers; tax matters; credit risk on receivables; reclamation; risks related to information and operation technology systems; results of future legal proceedings and contract settlements; pandemics, epidemics and public health crises; volatility in the market price of the Company’s common shares; risks related to the 2024 Notes; dilution of shareholders from future offerings of the Company’s common shares or securities convertible into common shares; dividends; and competition. These risks are not a comprehensive list of the risks and uncertainties that we face.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 ‌ (in US Dollars, tabular amounts in millions, except where noted)

Significant changes to our financial, operational and business risks exposure during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include the following:

●

The government of Burkina Faso continues to be under fiscal pressure to fund its war efforts in the northern part of the country. This has impacted the timeliness of government payments, in particular the refund of VAT. Management continues to engage with the government and local banks to identify opportunities to collect, offset or sell its VAT holdings in Burkina Faso.

●

As part of the structure of the Lindero project and the operation of the Lindero Mine, Fortuna implemented a series of intercompany revolving pre-export financing facilities. This allows exporters to apply the proceeds of sales directly towards payment of principal and interest under the facility. As a result of elevated metal prices and the timing of capital expenditures there is a risk that there may not be sufficient room to repatriate funds under the pre-export facilities, and the Company may be required to temporarily repatriate US dollars into Argentina and convert them to Argentine Pesos.

●

On July 6, 2024 the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) was formally announced as a confederation of Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. This is in addition to the announcement of the three governments to leave the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) on January 28, 2024. It is uncertain how this new confederation will impact the political or economic environment at this time. Management will continue to monitor the situation and take the necessary actions to limit risk.

●

In September of 2024 the government of Burkina Faso published a new mining code (the “2024 Mining Code”) and related Local Content law in the Official Journal. While the Company does not foresee a material change to our business in Burkina Faso based on a review of the 2024 Mining Code, it is expected that the government will release additional regulations and implementation decrees that will clarify how the 2024 Mining Code and Local Content law should be applied. Management will continue to monitor the implementation of the new laws.

●

The government of Côte d’Ivoire has indicated their intention to reform their national mining code. No reforms have been adopted at this time and Management continues to monitor the proposed reforms.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

For further information on our significant judgements and accounting estimates, refer to note 4 of our 2023 Financial Statements. There have been no subsequent material changes to these significant judgements and accounting estimates.

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company adopted various amendments to IFRSs, which were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. These include amendments to IAS 1 (Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants), IFRS 16 (Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback), IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (Supplier Finance Arrangements), and IAS 28 and IFRS 10 (Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture). The impacts of adoption were not material to the Company's interim financial statements.
